WAR-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER M. BULATovIoH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sesser, in the county of Franklin and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in War-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a war machine and has for its primary object to simplify the construction of a machine of this character and so associate the parts that the same will be capable of standing excessive strains.

An. object of the invention is the novel manner of constructing the penetrating elements and connecting the same to the body so that pressure or stress at these points will be equally distributed over the body of the machine.

\Vith these and other objects in View the invention will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine.

Fig. 2 is a detailed sectional view of one end of the machine.

Fig. 3 is a detailed sectional view of the body.

Again referring to the drawing the numeral 1 designates the body supported by wheels 2 which may be operated in any suitable manner by a motor arranged within the machine. In this particular instance the body 1 consists of two sections 3 and 4 stamped from sheet metal to have the required shape and riveted together at their longitudinal edges as indicated at 5. Thus it will be seen that the body can be quickly assembled and capable of being manufactured at a relatively low cost. In this particular showing I have illustrated a wire cutting member 6 at one end of the machine and a penetrating member 7 at the other end of the machine and each of these members include a cap 8 inclosing the ends of the sections 3 and 4 and riveted thereto as indicated at 9 with a result that during the action of the member 6 or 7 the cap Specification of Letters Patent.

will distribute the strain over the entire body so that said strain may be effectively taken care of. Another feature of this latter construction is that the ends of the sections are inclosed and protected.

The penetrating member 7 is in the form of a point 10 while the cutter 6 consists of a pair of diverging blades 11 located to feed the wire or other material to be out toward the point of greatest strength of the cutter namely at the center thereof. The entrance to the body is normally closed by a lid 12. The section 3 is rovided with ports 13 through which pro ect any suitable form of guns 14.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing it should be apparent that I provide a machine of imple but substantial construction and which is capable of passing through practically any obstruction.

Having described my invention what I claim is;

1. A war machine comprising in combination with a wheel supported body consisting of two parts riveted together, penetrating elements arranged at each end of the body and riveted to the ends of said parts.

2. A war machine comprising a body consisting of two stamped sheets of metal riveted together at their edges and penetrating elements riveted to the ends of said sheets.

3. A war machine comprising a body consisting of pressed sheets of metal r1veted together at their edges and penetrating elements riveted to the ends of the sheets, wheels supporting the body and guns supported by the body.

4. In a war machine a body consisting of a pair of pressed sheet metal sections having their longitudinal edges riveted together, a cutting element-includlng a cap inclosing and riveted to one end of these sections and a penetrating member including a cap inclosing the remaining end of the sections and riveted thereto.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

PETER M. BULATOVIGH.
